The Demon Terror

Some demons serve annihilation. Others serve a darker kind of justice.

Peter Samuels is expecting a tedious Egyptian dig, but finds himself the survivor of something impossible.
Grief and a need for answers draw him into a world he can no longer dismiss.

A former soldier who finds Peter in the desert and stays at his side.
Practical, formidable and dryly funny, Cedric knows when to question a plan and when to stand his ground.
The Shaman
A hooded woman working at the dig seems to know what lies beneath the sand.
Her warning saves Peter’s life, but her identity and intentions remain a mystery.

The Minotaur
Released from an ancient tomb, a creature driven by hunger turns an archaeological discovery into a massacre.
Peter’s encounter with it changes the course of his life.

Jane Baden

Accused of witchcraft centuries ago, Jane is bound to the mystery haunting Castle Aenden.
To understand what happened to her, Peter and Cedric must confront a past that refuses to stay buried, and a future that's already written.

This entertaining action/adventure has paranormal elements, good secondary characters, and defined MCs who are determined, intelligent, and learning about the paranormal characters they must deal with. I liked the world-building in the enjoyable story.

"A gripping start for this fast-paced adventure, where a single mistake at a dig site unleashes devastating consequences. I loved how the story pairs our main character with a skilled ex-soldier creating an alliance built on survival, tension, and slowly revealed truths.
The mysterious artifact at the center adds a layer of intrigue, especially as timelines begin to blur and new characters emerge with secrets that hint at a much bigger story ahead. It feels like the calm before an even greater storm in the next installment.
Overall, an exciting, engaging read with strong momentum and just enough mystery to leave you wanting more. I’ll definitely be continuing this series and recommending it."
